Now Open: Cana, Caskhouse, Loring Cafe, Sliver Pizzeria, more

Duende was the week’s big newcomer, but here are a few more openings to round up:

Caña has taken over the cool space that formerly housed Circolo, and before that, Gordon’s House of Fine Eats. For those unfamiliar with Caña, it’s a Cuban restaurant in Oakland; see the Chronicle’s Bar Bite. Getting back to the San Francisco location, Urbandaddy has a very pretty slideshow of the new aesthetics, plus a few more details on the cocktails. White tablecloths are involved.

For now, daily hours are 11:30 a.m.- 3 p.m. They’re finishing up construction during evenings, but are currently hoping to be open for dinner next week.

Caskhouse is now open in Noe Valley. It is a new beer bar, set in the old Joe’s 24th Street Cafe, courtesy of owner John Dampeer (see an interview with him here). You can check out the beer and wine offerings on the official site; as it currently stands, there are two food items: chips and beef.

Nabe is now open in the Inner Sunset. Eater has a nice rundown of what to expect from the new build-your-own hot pot joint, including some pretty interior pics. The name is a reference to nabemono, and you can see the whole menu here.

Dinner nightly.

1325 Ninth Avenue, between Irving and Judah, San Francisco. (415) 731-2658 or nabesf.com

Sliver Pizzeria is the latest pizza joint to hit the East Bay, and in a stroke of pure Berkeley, its valiant side mission is to end human trafficking. It’s the product of three Cheese Board alums and it appears that cute dogs hang out in front. Berkeleyside has the full report.

Open daily for lunch (11 a.m.-3 p.m.) and dinner (4 p.m.-9 p.m.). The bar is open continuously. Live music nightly.
